Planning your big day in Indiana? I’ve toured quite a few spots across the state, and I can honestly say—there’s a little something for every style. Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic barn, a peaceful lakeside view, or a grand historic mansion, you’ll find a venue here that just feels right. I loved how each place had its own charm, and I think you’ll enjoy choosing what fits your story best.

Highlights:

  • Mustard Seed Gardens – I fell in love with this restored 1835 barn in Noblesville. You’ll love the mix of history and charm, plus the gardens make for dreamy photos.
  • The Willows on Westfield – If a lakeside view is calling your name, I recommend this one. I visited during golden hour, and the reflections on the water were breathtaking—you’ll feel like you’re in a movie.
  • Laurel Hall – I walked up that grand staircase and immediately thought, “this is what a fairytale feels like.” If you love elegant, historic vibes, this Indianapolis gem is worth a look.
  • Swan Lake Resort – You’ll appreciate how flexible this space is. I saw both an outdoor ceremony and a cozy indoor reception here—you can truly make it your own.
  • The Barn at Kennedy Farm – I’ve been to a weddings here and it left me smiling. If you’re going for that relaxed, country-style celebration, you’ll feel right at home in this spacious, rustic barn.
